A
sting operation is a type of covert procedure designed to catch a person engaging in criminal, illegal, or dishonest activity. Sting operations typically involve the use of an
undercover agent (or agents) who poses as a confidant, partner, or colleague to a person engaging in suspicious activity. Additionally, such operations often employ the use of various types of technical equipment such as hidden microphones, cameras, or other recording devices. Undercover agents and specialty technical equipment are key elements in successful sting operations.
When most people think of a
sting operation, they probably imagine something along the lines of a vice cop working undercover to bust a drug dealer, or perhaps an FBI agent posing as an under-aged youth in a chat room in an effort to catch a dangerous child predator. Indeed, the most common type of sting operations are carried out by law enforcement officials. However, sting operations are not limited solely to these types of situations. In fact, they can be a valuable technique for many different kinds of investigations.
